Interests

I'm a hardcore minimalist: only 'real' hifi; no PC audio, EQs or MP3!
Non-headphone? Well, that'll be loudspeakers, amplifiers and source components.

Other Audio Equipment

Many, but I'm looking for some phones that can deliver the realistic bass tune (obviously NOT the power) that my kit transmission line speakers reproduce.

I may have the word 'bass' in my screen name, but I don't consider myself a 'bass-head'; Sure, it's possible/probably that I enjoy and place more importance on the bass than many around here. But, I still just want it to be in proportion with the rest of the audio spectrum.

Here lies the problem: to me, most speakers, and all 'phones (that I've tried, so far), just don't portray the weight and body of the instrument, performer and the music as a whole; the sound doesn't have the bass fundamentals that I hear in real life.
Hence my search (digging) for equipment that reproduces the bass, properly. And when I find it, I really 'dig' it!

Audio-Related Tweaks

Eh? I dunno. But my advice: do your research, before you spend your money. And above all, don't believe the hype!

Music Preferences

Anything (except jazz), but mainly electronic, rock and pop .

Occupation

As little as possible.
